Port Stanvac Power Station

Cummins Power Generation was engaged by Infratil Energy
Australia to design and construct a diesel peaking power station at
Port Stanvac to help meet Adelaide’s peak demand in summer.

GHD was subsequently engaged to undertake design activities to
relocate the existing 20MW station and redevelop the main site to
supply a further 65MW.

GHD assisted Cummins in the design of this power station,
undertaking detailed mechanical, civil and structural engineering
design, as well as some planning assistance and detailed thermal
modelling studies to determine likelihood and degree of heat
re-entrainment and engine de-rating for a diesel peaking power
station. Based on the outcomes of the studies, rectification
methods were proposed and implemented.

GHD provided support during construction with a team member
working on site for more than five
months. GHD's presence on site meant that contractor
and design intent queries could be responded to quickly.

Good communication between all parties involved with the
project allowed for seamless co-ordination of design and
construction activities, which was especially important on
such a restricted site.
